can't believe the real isekai was Ireland all along

 

[bf842903]

So Ireland is isekai and a game to Japanese?!🤪

 

[monkey123]

Oh what a great VR game! Even Kirito would be jealous as he didn't fuck around in the VR world.

 

[Kageno]

Who in their right mind would name their game Ireland?

 

[Diamona]

And so one Japanese person's fight against the injustices of Ireland begins...

 

[kompotik]

Ireland is a game for our world, but in fact, a copy of another world.

 

[TNT261]

Okay wait. In the new conditions for the “new project” it said that if he gets killed he’ll just be forced out of the game. Considering he was actually transported to another world, I find that hard to be true. Did the company/god actually lie to get him to isekai or do they/she actually have the power to send him back in case of death? If its the latter then this is actually a pretty good deal; if its the former than this is just fraud

 

[Moodyz]

That can't be Ireland. Nobody's speaking funny and I don't see any giant tech companies dodging taxes.

Copying my comment from the manga series discussion https://mangadex.org/thread/361431/1/#post_3720730:

Seeing the fantasy world named "Ireland" I was wondering if this was a case of mistranslation. (that reminded me of a incredibly rare disease localized as "bulimia" in another manga) Ready for a probably too-long comment about this one tiny thing?

イルランデ (pronounced Irurande/auto-translated Illande)
Seen on: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8925cq/1/ (chapter title is "Prologue: Illande")
Google translate: https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=イルランデ&op=translate
Extremely few search results (4,990) and appear to all be relating to this manga and/or the novel it's based on (https://www.google.com/search?q=イルランデ) lead me to believe this is a fantasy word, and not an alternate spelling of "Ireland."

Ireland gets translated as アイルランド (Airurando)
Google translate: https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=ja&text=Ireland&op=translate
Search results for this word in Japanese returns 22,300,000 results including Wikipedia for Ireland, so this appears to be the correct word for the word "Ireland".

TL;DR: The original word (イルランデ) is entirely made up but does sound a bit like "Ireland" and is possibly meant to suggest an "Ireland-like setting." I couldn't find the raws, but assuming the title screen text present on both the Russian and English translations here were also in the raws (RU: https://mangadex.org/chapter/1109753/11, EN: https://mangadex.org/chapter/1109920/11) then this should probably be translated as "Irlandes" as that's what appears in the text. Even if that isn't in the original raws, the word "Irlandes" is close enough to Ireland without actually being an actual country name, and therefore accomplishes the same thing the original fantasy word seems to in Japanese (and accomplishes this better than google translate's "Illande" does, as that fails to capture how similar the word sounds to Ireland in Japanese, lacking an R)

(note: the Russian translation appears to make the same mistake, just straight translating it as "Ireland" in the manga description and chapter title. Which makes sense, as it appears the same Russian team did both translations? I'm not sure what a good localization would be in Russian.) <-- edit: disregard this, I was mistaken

I don't see the guy called Fate and no one's arm has been twisted. Title is clickbait.

 

[Read0nly]

I'm curious, if they have sex in a VR game, do they jizz themselves in real life? I assume they don't actually pee or poop in the game.

 

[KirisuEmonzaemon]

@flaslt thank you for the suggestion, you are probably right, I will change it to Irlandes later!

The jap version is Irurando, so my brain automatically though it is Ireland, my bad

 

[QuietSnowy]

Why the producer make so much LED just for one moment?

 

[savetheprince]

if you play for 20 hours without taking any breaks what happen to your digestive system

Damn Ireland! We need to send Cromwell over to deal with the menace of the Emerald Islanders.
